What other kind of casinos are there?

For one, NH has the Hampton Beach Casino, which has arcades, boutiques, a ballroom and even a water slide! But no gambling. At least nothing out in the open.

Because they followed a policy too similar to that of the UK, I think

'An American fiasco': US hits grim milestone of 2m Covid-19 cases

Pandemic has devastated US, but experts warn lack of testing and early reopening mean ‘we’re only seeing the tip of the iceberg’

www.theguardian.com

For Americans, coronavirus went from being a mysterious affliction that occurred in far-off lands to 1m confirmed cases on US soil within 14 weeks. Now, just six weeks later, the US has broken through the grim milestone of 2m positive tests for Covid-19, according to the Johns Hopkins University tracker.

The anguish of life lost, of a severely wounded economy and wrenching political turmoil have taken a harrowing toll upon a fatigued American public. But further, perhaps far greater pain is yet to come, pandemic experts have warned, even as authorities wave people back into reopened shops and offices and the US president’s political rhetoric on an epochal crisis dwindles away to near silence.

“Everyone has just looked at the first 100 yards of this marathon,” said Michael Osterholm, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

Yeah the Casino Ballroom is amusing for being neither a casino nor a ballroom. It's primarily a venue for aging rock musicians.

I found this interesting from a virtual worlds POV.

The last speaker spoke in favor of the social distancing measures. After the conclusion of his minute speech, the audience was yelling at him: "Who paid you?"

I knew it was only a matter of time before someone got around to the "blame the Jews" part of this farce.

Masks, No Kissing and ‘a Little Kinky’: Dating and Sex in a Pandemic

"The New York City guidelines discourage group sex, but give advice for those who do “decide to find a crowd.” “Pick larger, more open, ventilated spaces,” it states, among other things."

When my husband was telling me things from this Times story, I was sure it was satire.

I'm done with this nonsense, I just had a thunderstorm with 2 days running on a generator, in the county where i live there's still only 190 cases. It's kind of funny how nobody cares about the virus when it comes to staging riots or protests but when i want to continue living its considered offensive. By the way who is still buying out all the toilet paper and paper towels and why doesn't anybody do something about this?
